Partner Spotlight: Homage Senior Services

Homage Senior Services is Snohomish County’s largest provider of services for older adults and people with disabilities! Services provided include including mental health support, food and nutrition, care coordination, transportation, and minor home repairs.

“At Homage, we want more people to know about our Care Coordination Program, especially our Health Home services—a Medicaid-funded program designed to support individuals living with chronic conditions. Through this program, we work one-on-one with clients to help them manage their health, access vital community resources, and improve their overall well-being. Our approach is person-centered, holistic, and deeply rooted in building long-term, trusted relationships,” shared Krissie Dillin, Director of Social Services at Homage.

“We’re in a season of building—and one of the things we’re most excited about is the opportunity to grow our Health Home Care Coordination services to reach more people across our community. In particular, we are hoping to build a meaningful partnership with the Tulalip Tribe. We believe that through mutual respect, trust, and collaboration, we can bring personalized, culturally informed care coordination to tribal members who are navigating chronic health challenges. We know we have a lot to learn, and we’re ready to listen, show up, and work together,” shared Dillin.

They’re always looking for partners who believe that health is about so much more than doctor’s appointments. It’s about connection, culture, community, and care. “We would be honored to collaborate with the Tulalip Tribe, and to work hand-in-hand with tribal leaders, healthcare providers, and family members to offer care coordination that is respectful, responsive, and rooted in relationship. Our goal is never to replace what’s already working—but to support and walk alongside,” shared Dillin.

They would also like to recognize Lillian Kirungi, one of their Care Coordinators, who brings compassion, cultural humility, and deep knowledge of community resources to her role. Lillian’s ability to build strong relationships with clients and advocate for their needs has helped many individuals achieve greater stability in their health and daily lives. One recent success story involved a client struggling with multiple chronic conditions including mental illness and social isolation. Through our Health Home services, our team was able to help connect the gentleman with our Senior Companion Program, and establish a health action plan that is practical and driven by small goals. As a result, the client’s health has improved and he is working on his social skills with the Care Coordinator so he can reach his ultimate goal of making a new friend! It’s moments like these that remind us of the power of person-centered care.
